He questioned whether the whole issue had been addressed by the Code. A discussion ensued regarding square -footage requirements in the event of "adding on" to the subdivided parcel. Thirty-six hundred square feet are required for each dwelling unit in a Two -Family Residential District; therefore, each half of the parcel could not support an additional dwelling unit. MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE Item #6, Public Hearing on Case 83-140, a request for a variance from Section 17.19.030(B), Lot Width, and Section 17.19.040, Side Yard, on Lot 1, Block 6, Baranof Heights, sub- mitted by Ralph and Annie Newcombe.

GREGG MOVED TO APPROVE CASE S-83-045, preliminary subdivision of Lot 1, Block 6, Baranof Heights Subdivision to: Lots IA and 1B, Block 6, Baranof Heights Subdivision, U.S. Survey 1396, for "Zero -Lot -Line" Duplex, r__ and that the subdivision be given final approval with the following conditions: 1.

PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 83-142. A request to rezone U.S. Survey 3462, Lots 1B through 1K; and Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, submitted by the Community Development Department. MR. BRIGGS announced that he was disqualified due to a conflict of interest and stepped down from his seat. DR. KEVIN CREELMAN, neighboring lot owner, was concerned with the impact on adjacent lots if this rezone was recommended for approval. He questioned the origination of the request and MS. FREED explained that the proposal for the rezoning came from the Planning Commission, not from any of the property owners in the area; and, justification for the proposed rezoning is, with water and sewer service being provided, higher -density population is warranted. Dr. Creelman was in opposition of the rezoning. MR. DAN SEATON, owner of Lot 11, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Sub- division, requested his lot be rezoned to Business. MR. HILL suggested that the Commission take his request up at a later date. Mr. Seaton then stated that he was in favor of this rezoning request. MR. GARY REED, who rents space 4 on Lot 1B, asked the Commission if these two proposed rezone areas could be separated and dealt with '— individually, as Lots 1B through 1K are already dense enough and rezoning the area would allow for more units and impact the area. MS. FREED explained that rezoning would not necessarily increase the density and that there are square -footage requirements for each unit that are cumulative for the multiple dwelling. Mr. Reed expressed that he was in opposition of the rezoning. MR. PAT BRIGGS, owner of Lot 9, spoke in favor of the rezoning. MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting. MS. FREED explained to the Commission that this was one rezoning case with the same case number, but two separate files were opened to facilitate Regular Meeting - 3 - November 16, 1983 KIBS225443 filing and future reference. It was decided to identify the areas as 9A and 9B, respectively, in the motion. MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE CASE 83-142, Item 9A, a request to rezone Lots 1B through 1K, U.S. Survey 3462, from Rural Residential to Multifamily Residential District, submitted by the Community Development Department. MR. GREGG seconded the motion and the question was called. The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote. MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE CASE 83-142, Item 9B, a request to rezone Lots 8, 9, 10, and 11 from Rural Residential to Multifamily Residential District, submitted by the Community Development Department. MR. GREGG seconded the motion and the question was called. The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote. (Per Code, proposed rezoning will be forwarded to the Borough Assembly.) 10. PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE S-83-051. Preliminary subdivision of Lot 9, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, to: Lots 9A through 9F, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, U.S. Survey 3462, submitted by Leonard P. Briggs. MR. BRIGGS announced that he was disqualified due to a conflict of interest and stepped down from his seat. It was established that the rezoning of this property is not official until the Borough Assembly grants approval. MR. BRIGGS spoke before the Commission in favor of granting approval of this preliminary subdivision. MR. KEVIN CREELMAN expressed opposition to this preliminary sub- division. His concerns were against duplexes or triplexes going in beside his property and for property value. His desire was to see the area remain single-family homes with decent -sized yards and not see more of a "Naughton's trailer court." r' DAVE CROWE reported to the Commission that 42 Public Notices were sent out and no comments were returned. MS. FREED did explain for Dr. Creelman and other neighbors in the area the rezoning process, emphasizing that there will be one more public hearing before the Assembly. At that time, concerned parties have the opportunity to express themselves to the Assembly, because the Assembly has final say on the rezoning issue. MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting. MR. JAMES commented that not only are water and sewer going to be available, but also a major arterial. As there is very little R3 property on major arterials, Mr. James believed this to be a good area, better than rezoning an area on a lesser -used road, causing problems with the road surface and access to the R3 property. Hill concurred with that. MR. JAMES MOVE TO APPROVE Case S-83-051 preliminary subdivision of Lot 9, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, to: Lots 9A through 9F, Block 6, Miller Point Alaska Subdivision, First Addition, U.S. Survey 3462, with the conditions noted on the memo from Mr. Crowe dated November 8, 1983.

FREED reported receiving phone calls from four property owners in the area, in opposition, who were concerned with water rights, septic systems, and pollution. MR. MELVIN KORTLEVER, property owner of Lot 3, Block 4, directly below the lot in question, voiced concern with the amount of surface water that runs off onto Kalsin Drive. The water runs through the berm and cuts a channel through Mr. Kortlever's property. Pictures were submitted to the Commission. Mr. Kortlever stated not being opposed to the subdivision as long as the owners can provided adequate drainage in the area. His concern was that serious erosion problems could develop in the area if the lots are subdivided. THE COMMISSION and Mr. Kortlever discussed the pictures that were submitted and various options for controlling the run-off water. MS. PATRICIA LODS, Lot 4A, Block 4, submitted a letter of opposition and pictures, and read the letter into the record. Ms. Lods voiced concerns similar to Mr. Kortlever's. She urged that the land be divided into large lots only (five -acre lots), minimizing heavy population, preserving the valley ecology, and that no septics be permitted which do not discharge class-B drinkable water. MRS. NANCY DOYLE, property owner of Lot 4B-1, lives directly below the property in question and voiced her opposition due to septic systems and drainage problems. Mrs. Doyle's letter was read into the record. MRS. ROBERTA LOCHMAN, property owner of Lot 3, Block 2, spoke in favor of the preliminary subdivision request. Ms. Lochman concurred with Mr. Hill and Mr. Gregg in their feeling that the drainage problem would be there without the subdivision. Also in favor was MR. DENNIS SMEDLY, adjacent property owner, who spoke of subdividing in the future. Mr. Smedly felt the water drainage might have been due to the installation of power lines. MR. HILL closed the Public Hearing and opened the Regular Meeting. He stated as a matter of record that sanitation has to be approved by ADEC and that ADEC does take into consideration everyone's water rights. Mr. Hill feels it is up to the Service District to take care of roads out there and not the individual developer. For run-off, there are other avenues to take. THE COMMISSION and Mr. Crowe discussed the drainage situation and possible solutions, including a loop road through the two lots. MR.

MRS. STRICKERT seconded and the motion FAILED unanimously. 19. NEW BUSINESS: A. Capital Improvement Program 1984-1989. MS. FREED reported that the handout to the Commissioners was based on an Assembly work session, held on November 15, 1983, and was a draft priority list. The intent was to get all local government in the area to adopt one list, which included projects for the borough, city, villages, and state (funded for the state through departmental agencies). The list was going to a work session November 17, 1983. Ms. Freed recommended that the Commission move to approve the draft and to recommend that the city council adopt this list, or at least adopt the procedure of adopting one list. MRS. STRICKERT MOVED TO APPROVE the Capital Improvement Program 1984- 1989, per the memo handed out November 16, 1983, and make a recommendation that the City Council also approve this priority list. Mr. Gregg seconded the motion and the question was called. The motion CARRIED by unanimous roll call vote. 20. COMMUNICATION: There were no additional communications. 21. ADDITIONAL AUDIENCE COMMENTS. MRS. ROBERTA LOCHMAN commented to Mr. James that she had worked very hard and to the letter on recommendations, codes, and laws, to make this a nice subdivision with well -laid -out lots. She further commented that a lot of money had been spent on surveys and getting this thing in order so that it is really well done. Recommendations such as retaining walls and hundreds of feet of road at about $120 per foot is really prohibitive to the average citizen and hinders the average citizen in developing or building or doing anything with their property. Not being a land developer, Mrs. Lochman felt that recommendations such as this really hinder people in the borough. DR. JOHN EUFEMIO requested final approval of a subdivision that has already received preliminary approval. MS. FREED quoted Section 16.12.030, Borough Code, "The final plat shall comply with the requirements of Section 16.16.020 and shall be submitted to the borough clerk not less than fourteen days prior to a regular meeting of the planning commission." MR. CROWE stated he does like to have the opportunity to review the plats before they are acted upon. The Commission decided to hold a special meeting on December 1, 1983, at 7 p.m., to approve Dr. Eufemio's plat. MR. DENNIS SMEDLY praised the Commission for their professionalism in handling the meeting, stating it was a real pleasure to witness them in action. 22.

STRICKERT commented that she would not be here next month as she was not "re -upping" for her seat on the Commission. She added that this past two years has been a real learning experience for her. KIBS225448 Regular Meeting - 8 - November 16, 1983 MR. GREGG asked MS. FREED what the schedule looked like for the next couple of months. MS. FREED reported the next work session, November 30, will be for review of the Mobile Home Ordinance, although no comments had been received from the rest of the Commissioners. There is no work session scheduled for next Wednesday, November 23, and no additional work sessions have been scheduled for the month of December, although this could be discussed at the November 30 meeting. MR. GREGG asked what loose ends need to be taken care of. MS. FREED reported that staff will be working on a zero -lot -line ordinance, getting examples of other ordinances from other municipalities to tie up some of i� the concerns expressed by the community and the Commissioners. Mr. Gregg's concern was that the work to be done on the zero -lot -line ordinance not get "dropped through the cracks," and definitely should be worked on before next spring. He felt there would be more requests for zero -lot -line development coming in. MS. FREED agreed and suggested that any information on the ordinance be presented at the packet review December 14. A work session could be scheduled in January to deal with it specifically. Ms. Freed reported that the next Regular Meeting is scheduled for December 21, and that she would be tentatively leaving town late that night, but would be able to attend some of the meeting. MR. GREGG requested Engineering department to summarize the concerns as far as water quality and reporting to ADEC regarding the Lochman subdivision. MR. JAMES stated this was the second CIP he has seen since he has been on the Commission and suggested input on which roads get paved in what order, what sewer and water projects get done in what order, and making up a list to be submitted to the Assembly showing that the Commission is trying to plan ahead for orderly expansion as a planning commission. 25. DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS: MS. FREED reported that the Planning and Zoning representatives for the months of November and December are Mrs. Strickert and Mr. Hill, respectively.
